Senior Product Counsel

SoundCloud empowers artists and fans to connect and share through music. Founded in 2007, SoundCloud is an artist-first platform empowering artists to build and grow their careers by providing them with the most progressive tools, services, and resources. With over 400+ million tracks from 40 million artists, the future of music is SoundCloud.

At SoundCloud, we're building the future of music and audio for creators and fans. We're looking for a Senior Product Counsel to join our Business & Legal Affairs team and partner closely with our product, design, and engineering teams to help shape the next generation of SoundCloud products.

As Senior Product Counsel, you'll be the go-to partner for our product teams, guiding them through the legal and regulatory landscape as they build creator tools, monetization products, and fan experiences. You'll play a key role in ensuring our products are compliant, user-friendly, and scalable across global markets.

You'll support the full product lifecycle- from roadmap review and feature development to launch and maintenance - while advising on issues spanning subscriptions, fan monetization, privacy, data protection, advertising, and marketing compliance. You'll also help update product-related terms, policies, and guidelines to keep pace with evolving laws and platform requirements.

This role requires a mix of strategic judgment, hands-on problem-solving, and strong collaboration with stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Marketing, Finance, and external partners.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide pragmatic, business-minded solution-focused legal advice throughout the product development cycle, balancing risk and innovation.
• Advise on creator and fan subscriptions and compliance with global subscription laws.
• Support development of new marketplace offerings, including physical and digital goods, fan clubs, exclusive content, and peer-to-peer payments.
• Act as the primary resource for product-related data protection issues, including sign-up flows, consent mechanisms, and data usage.
• Draft, review, and maintain product-related Terms of Service, Privacy Policy provisions, and marketing disclosures.
• Support product marketing and growth initiatives, including performance marketing, push / email notifications, brand campaigns, and compliance with consumer protection and advertising regulations.
• Ensure compliance with third-party developer guidelines (Apple, Google) and other platform sign-in or integration requirements.
• Draft, negotiate, and review commercial contracts, vendor agreements, and software licensing terms related to product development and technology partnerships (excluding music licensing). Build strong relationships with PMs, engineers, designers, and marketing leads to align on business priorities and risk management.
• Guidance on a wide variety of data protection compliance issues. A working knowledge of the data privacy laws in the U.S. and Europe is a requirement.
